Tidy After Conversion

Version 01.08.00
Added 21 Feb 2012 (last updated 18 Feb 2013)

For use with Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Tidy After Conversion undoes some things that convertors like MusicXML and Photoscore do to retain the original appearance of a score. It can unlock the formatting and reset the staff spacing, which changes the original layout but makes it easier to do your own layout.

Reset clef positions fixes a problem where clef changes at the end of a bar end up over the barline in Photoscore conversions.

Photoscore forces every visible accidental to be cautionary, so it will not disappear even if another note with the same accidental is added before it in a bar. Remove forced accidentals resets accidentals to behave as if you had entered them by hand.

Updated 18 Feb 2013. Added option to fix initial system key signatures in certain situations. Photoscore sets all key sigs to one staff only, so if the intitial key sigs for all staves are one-staff-only, the plugin will set the initial system key signature to the key signature used by notation staves, if they are all the same. It also fixes an odd case when the staves are not one-staff-only but the initial system key signature does not match the key sig in the staves.
